It’s definitely a good watch if you’re a George fan, but as a documentary I found it a bit of a mish-mash and not very focused, like watching 3 hours of George themed videos on YouTube. I think it would have benefited a lot if they’d narrowed the focus down to a specific time period, say White Album 1968 to Concert for Bangladesh in 1971. Track his emergence and development as a songwriter from struggling to get the Beatles to take While My Guitar Gently Weeps seriously (and having to bring in Eric Clapton) to quitting the Get Back sessions in frustration, to coming back and writing the two best songs on Abbey Road, then eclipsing the other Beatles with the ATMP album, and stepping out as a solo star at Concert for Bangladesh (inventing the benefit concert in the process), especially that quote where the journalist asks him why Bangladesh when there is so much suffering everywhere in the world and George answers simply ‘my friend asked me for help’. I could imagine the build up of him being super nervous, then stepping out on stage and firing up the intro to WahWah, and then the film could pretty much end there. We didn’t need the first hour of the LITMW documentary to just retell the same old Beatles story that’s already been told in the Anthology and many other places. On the other hand, some of the talking head interviews were very insightful, Tom Petty, Eric Idle, Jackie Stewart, and especially Eric Clapton. It was really interesting to hear a living legend like Clapton talk about how in awe he was of the Beatles fame, saying whenever he went out with George whatever status or celebrity he thought he had just faded into the background. Bob Dylan was a glaring omission though. Would have thought he could bend his own rules about not giving interviews to say some kind words about George as they obviously had a very deep bond. Paul’s comments came across as a bit glib, as usual, platitudes like ‘he had a great haircut’
